I wish to God I could remember the name of the steroid he told me he was using, but I forgfot. Regardless, he hasn't used in 10 months(heroin), and now he told me that he started using steroids again after years because it helps him with his gains in muscle building. Is this going to make it easier for him to start using any other drug again? Like specifically, start his addiction again? Some poeple's gateway is marijuana...could steroid lead to something worse? I am sure that whatever he is using is affecting his mood, because he can be so sweet and such a jerk at the same time.
Jk3, sorry no one has replied, try posting this on the Heroin board to see if people there know more than I do. I know nothing about Steriods.
More people post there than here.

Hi... sorry you are having to deal with this. I dont know a whole lot about steroids other than what i have been told... i just know that they are a very dangerous drug and they can make someone very violent... so please be careful. He needs to know that he is not clean even though he is not using his drug of choice... it's still a drug and not good for him or those that he are around. Love and God bless, Briana
I have learned recently that using on drug or even having the offer or excuse to use no matter what it is, is often greasing the slide to lead you right back to the heart of addiction. For example it is someones birthday and I know I have a problem with drinking but I say just one for old times sake it is a birthday, next thing I know I am drunk and excepting a joint on my way to getting stoned, and then everyday is a special occasion or reason to use something. I hate to say it but it is true once an addict always an addict. Because it is something you must live with and deal with on a daily basis. Each day you don't use is a good day and a victory. All the best helping your friend. Be strong, and thankyou for caring about someone who needs your help.
Thank you for the replies...and a special thank you for the one that actually noticed that I do care for this person very much. But as you guys know, he is still using...steroids, heroin, whatever. He can't deal with himself, with his life without a substance. If he can't stay completely clean, then I can't do anything but show love and support...but I cannot have it in my life. Thank you and pray for this man that is so lost.
Steriods do cause extreme moodiness. I have herniated discs in my neck and was put on a steriod treatment. It was the worst exeprience of my life and I do not do drugs! When they first started treatemnet I was feeling really good but as the doses gets less and less as you end the treatment you become depressed. I was almost suicidal, that's how bad I felt, and I am normally what most call a happy person. So I can just imagine the mood swing and addict would have while on them.
